Language Analysis of the 2016 Election

I'll take a nonpartisan stance and let the data speak for itself. I think this is an excellent idea and can reveal some fundamental dynamics underlying the candidates' movements themselves.

It would be interesting to be able to definitively discern between candidates speaking at a low level because they themselves think at that level, and candidates speaking at a low level to speak down to their supporters.

As the intentions of the candidates aren't so easily determined, I think perhaps this is most revealing about the candidates' movements and their supporters. Perhaps future studies could correlate this to the average education levels of each candidates supporters, it would certainly be worth a look.
